Yes. Bayerische Motoren Werke went full in on NSDAP, the Wagnerian dream and the return to feudal monarchy.
During the war, BMW concentrated on aircraft engine production using as many as 40,000 slave laborers. These consisted primarily of prisoners from concentration camps, most prominently Dachau. – Wikipedia
Their first product was airplane engines, a line that continued into WWII with the Beemer 180 driving the Focke-Wulf Fw 190, the German counter to the Supermarine Spitfire. (I played a lot of Lucasarts games)
BMW also made the motorcycles used for light mechanized cavalry which appear in every Indiana Jones movie featuring Nazi baddos.
These days BMW is on the bleeding edge, the first automotive company to offer subscription automobile services, by installing kill switches to individual features like seat and steering wheel heating. In case you had any questions of whether BMW has gotten any nicer since its German Reich days.
Nope.
Just wait until you learn the history of the VW beetle
Hitler was responsible for funding the autobahn. You have Hitler to thank for highways
No. He did not, but it really goes to show how powerful Nazi proganda was and still is.
